I try to conceive of how ,I, would make a Masters movie, on earth, using enviroment available and I can think of a key thought, that earth real locations could be used if there was certain things put in the enviroment, like trees and rocks that could look almost like earth real plants and rocks, but a bit different and significant things like flowers that grow out of a rock instead of soil, or purple trees, or giant mushrooms.

If this Jon Chu (had to google him) directs it, it will be absolute trash. It will be everything I DO NOT want it to be. Based on his previous work, he seems like a corporate yes man and hey, I saw the trailer for GI Joe Retaliation (first one really stunk too). Enough said.

But hey, it's going to suck no matter who makes it. MOTU, as cool as it is, is still nothing more than a commercial property to those who own it. So it's all going to be about the biggest crap stars, CGI, Slurpee cups, etc.

Hollywood doesn't make movies that stand the test of time anymore. As long as it makes money opening week, they don't care if it ends up in the bargain bin.

I think it goes beyond money.
I have had alot of disgust for all the stupid crap movies that keep coming out and the best actors are 90 yrs old and computer animaters dont get first credit for making 80% of the video, and so on.

..But it is something to think on how one projects thought on creation of a movie, that first suttle wondering that there is anyone out there that deserves the effort and beauty of a good movie.

..Oh, and positivily thinking, the future would enentualy produce the best movies ever made, and possibly before the pirates and 2-faced eilite burn hollywood to the ground, to make way for the zombie appocalipse.

None of that is really groundwork laid for Jon Chu. Sure those are elements you would maybe want to inspire the movie, but none of that is really groundwork.

By "GROUNDWORK" I don't mean that he should edit Pandora out of Avatar and paste it into a MOTU movie. I'm just saying that the idea that a MOTU world won't work on screen has no merit. The movies I mentioned have tackled some of the problems of bringing MOTU to life and shown that it can be done well.
You just need a director with creativity, and passion for what he is doing.
If they stick to a few core characters, stay true to the MOTU canon, they don't need made-up bad-guys and over the top special effects and action scenes with no heart. (Battleship, GI Joe)

Well, at least he’s still talking about it. A Dolph cameo would be great and a nice little nod. He also said this, from heyuguys.com:

I’m working on the movie right now and it is fun. I love the fact that I have a whole world to play with, I love that challenge. Tonally it’s very tough to do but trying to figure all that out is what I love about film making.

Not much. We'll see in the coming months. I think we should know by the summer whether or not the film will go ahead.

Masters of the Universe follows Prince Adam, who transforms into a warrior called He-Man and becomes the last hope for a magical land called Eternia, ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor. The reboot is being written by Richard Wenk, no casting or release date have been announced.

So the guys from Predators are out and this guy has even worse credits as a writer... man...

It’s been known since October. I don't think it’s a whole new script; it is a rewrite of the draft from the Predators writers. He wrote the script for the upcoming 'The Equalizer' starring Denzel Washington. Apparently that's why Sony and Escape Artists asked him to work on MOTU, because they were so impressed what he did with that. We'll see.

Yeah, I found that statement a bit weird. The Expendable films were both pretty big affairs.

I took it more as... "if he's available... I don't know what he's up to (project wise)." Expendibles 3 and a spin-off film are both in the works so chances are Lungren is at least a little busy and that could prevent his appearance. Or I could be making all of this assumption up!
